When American witch, Aria De La Cour, begins her new job at the Ministry of Magic in England, her mentor is none other than dashing and seductive ex-dark wizard, Lucius Malfoy. The connection and bond that they form transcends even the most powerful...
Aria continued staring at Lucius, as if willing an explanation out of him. She couldn't believe he had kept this from her. And although it wasn't lying, it was definitely holding something incredibly important back from her.
"I did it because I was angry...so angry at what that horrible man did to you," Lucius said as he walked slowly towards her. "Although I had just met you, I felt like I couldn't live with myself, live life, if I let that man get away with what he did. Even then I knew I would do anything...and could be capable...of doing anything for you."
He finally was standing directly next to her and he slowly reached his hands out and cupped her face, forcing her to look into his eyes intensely.
"You must believe me Aria."
"I do believe you Lucius!" she said as she stood up, which caused his hands to fall from her face. "I believe you that you did it for me...but I never asked you to! And to memory wipe someone!? What else did you do?"
Lucius stared at her, his heart shattering into a million pieces. She seemed so disappointed; she looked at him as if he was a complete stranger. However, there was no use lying to her now, he would tell her the whole truth of the matter.
"I didn't plan on doing any of it, all I was focused on that night was getting you out of his disgusting grasp...I brought you up to your flat. I stayed with you the whole night to make sure you were okay. Physically and mentally..." he said as he recounted the whole story. "When I left that morning, I saw he was still passed out next to your building...so I apparated him here to the Manor...into the dungeons..." Lucius said wearily. He had never told her that the Manor held something so dark and desolate.
"Dungeons?" said Aria as her voice rose higher. "You have dungeons!?"
Lucius nodded slightly in acknowledgement and continued the story.

"I kept him here in the Manor a few days...I..." he was dreading telling her the next part. "I used the Cruciatus curse on him...and then I apparated him to Cornwall and used the memory loss charm on him to make him forget...make him forget me...make him forget you, especially you..."
Aria said nothing but looked away, in clear shock, as she raised her hand up to her mouth to stifle a sob. "Lucius!" she yelled into the room. "You tortured him! The Cruciatus curse AND a memory charm...my God!"
With that comment, Lucius could no longer hide back his rage that he felt about the whole situation.
"He tortured YOU!" he yelled back into the room just as loud as her voice had been. Why couldn't she see that he did what he did to avenge her. He knew he was old fashioned, but he needed her to know that he would do anything for her...he would do it all again.
